Maya's POV"Sir Derinem," I was shocked and confused seeing him in the manor, my frozen pupils refusing to waver as it stuck on him, who was in a black polo, hairy muscular legs in a black pair of shorts.I let my focus return to his face, where he stood still, staring at me. Heat rose to my cheeks and forehead; the air suddenly felt hot against my nose, and I swooned.Behind me, Lina coughed very loud. Hearing her voice, I suddenly realized why she was fidgety when I knocked on her door. Luca had been inI turned my head to the counter, praying he would shift his gaze from my body. His scrutiny was heavy, and it was all over me.He then walked past me to the sink, smelling of fresh soap, grabbed a mug, and poured a dose of coffee, pulling the plug out of the socket.The quietness in the kitchen was getting me nervous; I seriously needed to get out of there before maestro came in; if he ever would, the kitchen was a place you'd never find him in.We were widths directly apart, but he s
You Can Run But... Competition
Authors POV. Things got better after that; Derinem stayed away, and she and maestro got along, though she wouldn't lie that she was doing more of the getting along with him, for recently he came back with some darkness hovering around him and more blood stains on his clothing.Making love was more intense—pleasure mixed with a bit of pain—and, as Lina had said, sometimes she yearned for it while staring at his naked torso, Looking down and blushing profusely when he caught her.He usually smiled.

Luca was in a foul mood once Damon was out of the door, pacing and looking at everything, Derinem excluded. They had watched her leave with Damon, and even though he wanted to do something about it, he knew it would only bring her disapproval. He ignored Luca, going over to the mini bar counter, grabbing a glass, poured himself a healthy dose, and was bringing it for a gulp when Luca said "So that's it? You put her in a big mess, and you are just going to drink," he said; Derinem turned to see him looking disgusted. "I expected more from you." Derinem glared at him, "Don't start with me, ma'am; my hands are twitchy." Luca knew what that meant, and knowing it was just a threat, he continued angrily. "You don't blame her for rejecting your help; you've noticed that every time you help her, you put her in trouble." That made him snap, "Fuck that." He pushed the cup away with way more force than he intended, and it crashed. "The only reason she's still here is that she's naive and
You Can Run But... Dark Age
After that, it was hard to even see him, much to her relief. The only time she saw him was when he packed his car and got into the manor, and happy was she when he left immediately. Now they were seeing Greta and Maria off at the airport, returning to Calabria. He had his hands around her shoulders, looking anxiously at his phone. The continuous vibration of his phone told her he was ending a call he didn't want to pick up, at least while Greta was right there kissing them goodbye. Once Greta was gone and everyone else had left, he left her shoulders. He picked up the phone and scowled, "Allysia, I told you now wasn't the time." She couldn't say whether he had done that on purpose for her to hear it or not, especially when he moved further away and made the rest of the call. She had turned away from him and got into the car, where George sat in the driver's seat, watching her face from the rearview mirror. She looked down at the ring on her finger and then out of the window, sig

With Maria and Greta gone, the manor felt lonely and very awkward. Felt like she was the only one in it, she and his men.His avoidance of her worsened to the extent that he never went out with her anymore; somehow, she felt useless just sitting and speaking to Lina.

"What you're about to do is dangerous, Maya," Luca said again, turning, constantly checking the mirror to either look at her or the incoming cars."I know," she answered, staring down at the beautiful blue backless gown she wore and loving the feel of makeup for the first time in a long while on her face.It was evening, and though she still had a fever, she was bent on looking the sexiest. She clutched her bag; that was the only way."This can't be the only way to get his attention; what if he hurts you?" Luca was saying.He was worried and annoyed.Why was he the only one called on to do the dirty job?

Mayasitting there, constantly looking out of the window, and only dropping a faint smile at my date when it became apparent I wasn't paying attention.The thought that I was using someone for my selfish gain disgusted me. I heaved a sigh, looking out the window again. Luca, in sign language, told me to focus on my date. I smiled and faced him."So what do you do?" I asked to get into a conversation I would be a part of.He tried not to look annoyed when he said, "I said that already introducing myself."Oh my God!" I was mad at myself; making people feel ignored wasn't what I wanted. "I'm so sorry. I have a lot of things going on.""like?" He raised his wine glass to his lips, his blonde hair neatly trimmed, giving off his successful aura.He had pale blue eyes, and one time he had a medicated glass on to read the menu.I smiled, "Well, I guess I offended my boss because I wanted his attention."The blonde's brows furrowed.
